Thanks Angela! You are the one who has done great! You will be at goal in no time. I appreciate all of your support and kind words ( and reading my private messages) throughout this entire ordeal.

Im still going to take you up on that lunch offer to souper salad when I am feeling up to it and you and both have time. I love your side of town, so I dont mind coming that way! I can make a mini trip out of it (since its like an hour or so away from where I am but you know thats Houston, everything is at least a 30-40 min drive anyway.

See you on the sleeved side of things.

Okay guys......

Just waking up. Ive showered only about 10-15 minutes before I leave. I woke up before my alarm clock (4:30 am). I woke up because my heart was pounding, I must having been thinking about the surgery in my sleep and or having an unconscious anxiety attack. Wow, that has never happened to me before, I almost felt asi f I were running a marathon and woke up right when I passed the finish line.

Anyway, I know that is my mind/nerves. I said my prayers last night and will say them again this morning.

The next time I post-----I will be sleeved.

Thanks for your prayers and help.

Shanda can't wait to hear how you're doing.

hope you have something you can stand to drink on your post op diet. That seems to be everyone's main problem after surgery.

Now the fun begins-watching the scale drop!

Congratulations!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
